Absentee Ballot Applications

As anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis realizes, it is absolutely imperative that we rid our Town of the bullies who are now running our municipal Government. In the event that you cannot be here on November 6, you can apply for an Absentee Ballot by downloading the application (click here) from the Ulster County Board of Elections.

The following are the Absentee Ballot deadlines for this year's General Election:
  • Oct. 30 Last day to postmark application or letter of application for ballot.
  • Nov. 5 Last day to apply in person for ballot.
  • Nov. 5 Last day to postmark ballot. Must be received by the Board of Elections no later than Nov. 13th.
  • Nov. 6 Last day to deliver ballot in person to the Board of Elections.
Please try to beat the deadlines by a few days, just in case.

ELECTION DAY THIS YEAR IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6

The following are legally acceptable reasons for requesting an Absentee Ballot:

  • unavoidably absent from your county on Election Day
  • unable to appear at the polls due to illness or disability
  • a patient in a Veterans’ Administration Hospital
  • detained in jail awaiting Grand Jury action or confined in prison after conviction for an offense other than a felony

Unfortunately, there are some people in our Town who are not registered to vote.

It is important to get these people registered, if you know of anyone who is not registered to vote please get a voter registration form to them.

The forms can be downloaded from the Ulster County Board of Election's website.
